Шаблон:Infobox military structure Fort Patiko, also known as Baker's Fort, was a military fort built by Samuel Baker in Patiko, Uganda.

Construction of the fort was completed on December 25, 1872.Шаблон:Sfn

After Baker left in 1888, the fort was used by Emin Pasha and Charles Gordon while they served as Governor of the Equatorial Province of the British Uganda Protectorate. A plaque on the remaining wall of a grain storage building in the center of the fort reads “Fatiko 1872 -88, founded by Sir Samuel Baker, occupied by Emin and Gordon” (sic). Шаблон:Sfn

Ruins of the fort remain in Ajulu parish, Patiko sub-county, Aswa County, Gulu district. The site is open to the public subject to a fee levied by the subcounty.[1]
